i see people all day jsut post stupid crap cause they like to see their post count raise... maybe he had some nice stuff to sell... i'd also like to know why he got banned? Has he done this before; cause the rules say, well, here is the rule:
11. Posting just to raise your post count (aka post whoring) will not be tolerated in any form. If an admin deems you are abusing your account in this manner, your post count will be zeroed and you will lose posting privileges for a period, and permanently if it is not the first time.
